Task adapted reconstruction for inverse problems
The paper considers the problem of performing a task defined on a model
parameter that is only observed indirectly through noisy data in an ill-posed
inverse problem. A key aspect is to formalize the steps of reconstruction and
task as appropriate estimators (non-randomized decision rules) in statistical
estimation problems. The implementation makes use of (deep) neural networks to
provide a differentiable parametrization of the family of estimators for both
steps. These networks are combined and jointly trained against suitable
supervised training data in order to minimize a joint differentiable loss
function, resulting in an end-to-end task adapted reconstruction method. The
suggested framework is generic, yet adaptable, with a plug-and-play structure
for adjusting both the inverse problem and the task at hand. More precisely,
the data model (forward operator and statistical model of the noise) associated
with the inverse problem is exchangeable, e.g., by using neural network
architecture given by a learned iterative method. Furthermore, any task that is
encodable as a trainable neural network can be used. The approach is
demonstrated on joint tomographic image reconstruction, classification and
joint tomographic image reconstruction segmentation
A Bayesian Hyperprior Approach for Joint Image Denoising and Interpolation, with an Application to HDR Imaging
Recently, impressive denoising results have been achieved by Bayesian
approaches which assume Gaussian models for the image patches. This improvement
in performance can be attributed to the use of per-patch models. Unfortunately
such an approach is particularly unstable for most inverse problems beyond
denoising. In this work, we propose the use of a hyperprior to model image
patches, in order to stabilize the estimation procedure. There are two main
advantages to the proposed restoration scheme: Firstly it is adapted to
diagonal degradation matrices, and in particular to missing data problems (e.g.
inpainting of missing pixels or zooming). Secondly it can deal with signal
dependent noise models, particularly suited to digital cameras. As such, the
scheme is especially adapted to computational photography. In order to
illustrate this point, we provide an application to high dynamic range imaging
from a single image taken with a modified sensor, which shows the effectiveness
of the proposed scheme.Comment: Some figures are reduced to comply with arxiv's size constraints.

Efficient Bayesian-based Multi-View Deconvolution
Light sheet fluorescence microscopy is able to image large specimen with high
resolution by imaging the sam- ples from multiple angles. Multi-view
deconvolution can significantly improve the resolution and contrast of the
images, but its application has been limited due to the large size of the
datasets. Here we present a Bayesian- based derivation of multi-view
deconvolution that drastically improves the convergence time and provide a fast
implementation utilizing graphics hardware.Comment: 48 pages, 20 figures, 1 table, under review at Nature Method
